Bedroom community with numerous recreation opportunities
While the saying ‘getting there is half the fun’ feels a little cliche, for residents of Winchester Hills, it’s absolutely true. Scenic Highway 18 makes the nine miles from the regional economic hub of Saint George a short, stunning journey. The community has panoramic views of Pine Valley Mountain and the surrounding plateau of red and white sandstone cliffs. Adjacent to the Ledges of Saint George golfing community and Snow Canyon State Park, this residential subdivision appeals to outdoor enthusiasts. “Winchester has a rural, ranch-feel. People like the area because they can get larger lots, and if they have a half-acre or more, they can get animal rights. You can have a horse or two, cows, goats...something small,” says Jared Gish, a Realtor with the Ames Team with Re/Max Associates and nearly a decade of real estate experience. “Winchester has hiking and biking trails, and state parks are a half mile away. There are tons of outdoor recreation, and it’s at a slightly higher elevation than Saint George. Temperatures can be five or ten degrees cooler.”
Parks, preserves and yearly festivals
Fish Rock Park rests just below Winchester Hills in the Ledges of St. George subdivision. It’s one of Washington County’s newest green spaces and has incredible 360-degree views of nearby rock formations. Pickleball courts attract visitors of all ages, while children have a large play area. Snow Canyon State Park is just across Highway 18 from the subdivision. The 7,400-acre preserve has numerous hiking, biking and horseback riding trails alongside multiple climbing areas. The Tuacahn Center for the Arts is located in the state park and hosts traveling Broadway shows, concerts and the Southern Utah Blues Festival in October. The festival provides all-day entertainment on the amphitheater stage with stunning red rock backdrops.
Families with kids can enjoy the playground in Fish Rock Park.
